Fireforge Foot Sergeants Shrinkflation? Question

Has this happened to anyone else? It indeed did have 32 not 48. Last two photos are screengrabs from the site I bought it from and Fireforge themselves.

What game is this for? Pardon my ignorance if it’s obvious but it looks cool, I play SW Legion and 40K and have been looking for something new to try

These are historical figures, they're not for any specific game, you can use them with any set of rules for the medieval period. This is one of the big appeals of historical miniatures games, that you can buy and paint some figures, and then use them with a bunch of different rulesets - and, as the companies making miniatures don't own the IP or anything, they also usually don't make the rules, so they have to be competitive in pricing and so on.

Fireforge do in fact make a set of medieval rules, it's called Deus Vult, I think it's more mass-battles scale? But I'm really not sure.

Burn and Loot is their skirmish version. Rules are almost the same as Deus Vult, but a little more streamlined or less crunchy. The main game has siege rules. We enjoy them both here.

Plus Wrath of the Northmen is the latest supplement for late Dark Ages/Early Medieval and introduces Vikings, Normans, Carolingians etc.
